Absolutely! There are choices for receiver. I think the 'skins still have a good shot at keeping at least one of those receivers. I think PG can still be a deep threat, as he proved this past year, he still had the ability to get past the defender deep.

[KI Skins Fan]

Here's a list of FA's I covet (using a modicum of fiscal restraint):

NT

One of: Brandon Williams, Bennie Logan, or Johnathan Hankins. Williams may be too expensive at $12-13M per year.

3-4 DE

One of: Calais Campbell or Chris Baker. If Chris is going to cost $7M+ per year, why not go for Calais at $8M+ per year? Both? Nah. We can draft another DE.

ILB

One of: Donte Hightower or Zack Brown. Hightower might be a pipe dream at $10M+ per year. Brown might cost $4-5M per year. Is he a one year wonder? I'd be willing to find out at that price.

WR

Pierre Garcon. Just give me Pierre at $8-9M per year.

TE

Both Vernon Davis and Anthony Fasano on one year deals. Fasano is a strong blocker.

Safety

One of: Tony Jefferson or Barry Church.

OG

Ron Leary (LG). Leary might be too expensive at @ $9M per year.

RB

LaGarrett Blount. Blount would be great in Goal Line and short yardage situations.

If KC will sign a long term contract for $10 million a year that might be possible . And I think you are underestimating how much FAs will get.

There are 32 teams, it just takes 2 or 3 teams to drive up the price of a contract . And one more WR will not drive down the contract for PG or DJ.

I used spotrac.com market value numbers for my post. Even so, I know you're right about the likelihood that some of these contract amounts will be driven up. Even without that, I wouldn't expect that the Skins would sign so many FA's. These are just players who I think might fill some of our needs.

I don't see Church and Jefferson as fits at safety.

Pierre Garcon: ‘I haven’t heard anything from the Redskins’

[Schneed10]

And if the Eagles trade for Cooks, that kills off one team that desperately needs a WR.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Personally I'd rather the Eagles end up with one of our 30+ guys versus getting someone in their prime that matches perfectly with what Wentz does best.

I'd rather them use their 1st rounder to get Cooks than have them buy one of our 30+ guys on the market + use their 1st rounder on a decent player.

I don't need the Eagles getting better too quickly.

Another Garcon-type of receiver could be let go:


ESPN's Rich Cimini reports the Jets "aren't done cutting players" and could move on from Eric Decker this offseason.

The Jets have gone scorched earth this offseason, pulling the plug on Ryan Clady, Breno Giacomini, Erin Henderson, Nick Folk, Nick Mangold, Brandon Marshall and Darrelle Revis. The purge may not be over as Decker, Marcus Gilchrist, Calvin Pryor, Sheldon Richardson and Buster Skrine are all in danger of losing their roster spots. Cimini considers David Harris "safe" but that could change if the Jets sign an inside linebacker in free agency. After going 5-11 this past season, the Jets are gearing up for a full rebuild.

I could see him being released and is another borderline type tier type WR

Sign Darrelle Revis and move him to free safety? Only a 1-2 year deal. Might not be a bad move. I'd still draft at least 1 safety.

actually it would be a bad move, he quit on the Jets last year.... saying he made a half- hearted effort to tackle would be generous... ..he was just going through the motions

I'm sure a lot of players gave up on the Jets last year lol.

Agree..I'd like us to stay away from safety position in free agency overall. Grab a free safety draft pick in the top 4 rounds of the draft

If we don't sign any, I'd draft 2 safeties this year.
